Description from the uk site....
AC Schnitzer suspension springs are engineered to improve handling and looks while retaining ride quality. The reduction in ride height of approx 30mm (20-25mm for JCW) and progressively wound springs reduce body roll, improve turn-in and increase grip in all conditions without making the ride harsh or affecting the steering negatively.

Please choose the correct model option from above when ordering. JCW version available to pre-order now with delivery early March 2016.

I have seen a similar variation in drop with s and Jcw on the eibach site
So I'm not sure if the Jcw springs are manufactured longer or they assume factory ones are shorter so you see a smaller drop

We have the AC Schnitzer @ ECS Tuning now.

F56 S: https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/3130256310/ 3130256310

F56 JCW 3130256410

https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/3130256410/

When developing spring on a car that already lowered, that was the range they selected for ride and comfort. I have seen it on other brand springs. So its not like the S and the JCW started at the same height. I believe the On the gen 1 MINIs the JCW sport suspension was 10mm lower then the Cooper S stock. Even through the JCW shared the same sport suspension on the Cooper S , in my spring calculator it shows different spring part number ranges. I have not seen the factory JCW spring weights so I bet they ride lower.

Thanks

Thanks for heads up
I cannot find any Spring refs for std cars or Jcw, on the f56
Everything I had found suggested parts were the same
but I knew my r53 with ss+ ran lower from the factory so it good to have this confirmed (even nearly)

Welcome, yea there is no info on MINI side as the F56 is so new. MINI does not also tell me there springs rates through the internal system.

I have the SS option on my car and didn't notice any difference in ride height compared to a car with standard suspension. After the NM spring install there is a marked difference.
